Download sh404SEF Free GNU/GPL Version 1.0.20 Beta build 237

People question why the version I post is at all important given the updates provided by Anything Digital and I simply want to reiterate that this version is the last version that was available on the Joomla extension downloads for those seeking it.

I personally believe that the $35 fee for the updated version is well worth the money given the support that they provide.  The model they use for the sale as “Support Ware” for this GNU/GPL is actually quite similar to the one we use for WPRealty.  Although the product is open source and in most cases freely available, support takes time and energy and those both equate to expenses.  By supporting a product like sh404SEF you ultimately end up with a better solution than a hit and miss open source project that is sparsely supported.

Some people have not been happy with the $35 membership fee but after careful review of what they offer, I think its a good solution to help maintain and update the component. Because of this, I won’t even bother to maintain any updates on this free download beyond the version below and will leave it here for those seeking the last version published to Joomla.

I highly recommend that if you do download this version, that after you configure and test for evaluation of the component you should ultimately get the latest version from Anything Digital to be sure you have the best possible results.

What about CMSRealty or JRealty Usage of the Component?

Our component JRealty does depend on the sh404SEF component to run effectively and as a result we will provide and install the latest version of sh404SEF for anyone using our plugins. I do actively maintain updates to the component as part of our service but will not provide it as a download. I really don’t want to undermine Anything Digital by providing a free download for versions beyond this one.

Although JRealty took a brief position on the back burner during the development of WPRealty, we do suggest and fully support Paul Bouchard’s CMSRealty as a great solution for Joomla Real Estate sites for those seeking immediate Joomla Real Estate site integration.

For those interested in purchasing a membership see the following URL http://dev.anything-digital.com/sh404SEF/License-and-Terms.html I think its a worthy investment.
